Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of sodium gold sulfite, and in particular to a method for preparing a sodium gold sulfite solution. Background Art

[0002] Sodium gold sulfite is the primary gold salt used in sulfite gold plating systems. Its gold-plated layer exhibits strong resistance to discoloration and can be used as a decorative coating. Furthermore, gold-plated layers made with sodium gold sulfite exhibit excellent properties such as corrosion and wear resistance, low contact resistance, and good solderability. They can also serve as functional and protective coatings, finding widespread use in printed circuit boards, semiconductor electronic component manufacturing, and cutting-edge military equipment.

[0003] In terms of the preparation of sodium gold sulfite solution, patent CN113046800A discloses a sodium gold sulfite electroplating solution and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps: adding gold to aqua regia and dissolving it at 90-100°C for 1-3 hours; keeping the temperature at 90-100°C for 3-5 hours, concentrating chloroauric acid into a syrup, and adding concentrated hydrochloric acid to the concentrated chloroauric acid several times to remove nitrate; placing the solution after volume adjustment in an ice-water bath, and adding saturated sodium hydroxide dropwise to the chloroauric acid solution while stirring in the ice-water bath to adjust the pH to 6-7; adding the pH-adjusted chloroauric acid solution to the sodium sulfite solution while stirring, and continuing to stir for 1-2 hours.

[0004] 1.5 hours; wait until the solution fades from yellow to colorless and transparent, then filter to obtain a sodium gold sulfite electroplating solution. This patent does not remove chloride ions, so chloride ions entrained and adsorbed by gold will still be present in the product. This patent is completely different from the electrolytic method for preparing gold hydroxide in this patent. Patent CN105568269A discloses a method for preparing sodium gold sulfite, a cyanide-free gold plating reagent, using a process that involves gold crushing, gold nugget cleaning, gold dissolution, nitrate removal, alkalization, cleaning, complexation reaction, and concentration and crystallization. By controlling the pH, an intermediate product, Au(OH)3 precipitate, is prepared, and the chloride ions in the product are removed by washing with deionized water. The Au(OH)3 precipitate is complexed with a sodium sulfite solution to prepare a sodium gold sulfite solution, which is then concentrated to obtain sodium gold sulfite crystals. This method suffers from low yield and chloride ion corrosion of the plating racks and tanks.

[0005] Furthermore, during the preparation process, the yield of sodium gold sulfite in the reaction is related to the pH value of the reaction solution. The yield is highest when the pH value is controlled at a specific value. When the pH changes, incomplete reaction of chloroauric acid will cause the reaction solution to exhibit the pale yellow color of chloroauric acid. Because chloroauric acid is a strong acid, sodium hydroxide solution needs to be continuously added during the addition of sodium sulfite solution to adjust the pH value of the reaction solution to maintain the pH value at the target value. The prior art determines the pH value of the reaction solution by observing the color change in the reaction vessel. When the reaction solution exhibits a pale yellow color after adding chloroauric acid, sodium hydroxide solution is added to return the pH to the target value and allow the chloroauric acid to fully react, returning the reaction solution to a transparent color. On the one hand, this technical approach can only be based on the operator's rough observation or operation, which is subject to human error. On the other hand, sodium hydroxide solution has a certain viscosity. During the process of outputting sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide is easily adsorbed at the opening of the dropper and aggregated into droplets of varying sizes before dripping, making it difficult to control the amount of sodium hydroxide added.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to design a method for preparing a sodium gold sulfite solution in response to the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing a sodium gold sulfite solution, which can effectively solve at least one problem existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0009] A method for preparing a sodium gold sulfite solution comprises the following steps:

[0010] S1. preparing chloroauric acid;

[0011] S2. Slowly add the prepared chloroauric acid dropwise to the sodium sulfite solution. When the solution turns light yellow, temporarily stop adding the chloroauric acid dropwise and adjust the pH. After the solution becomes colorless and transparent, continue adding the chloroauric acid dropwise until the chloroauric acid is completely added to obtain a crude sodium gold sulfite solution.

[0012] S3, adding ethanol to the crude sodium gold sulfite solution, precipitating a crystalline product with an anti-solvent, and washing the crystalline product with ethanol multiple times after solid-liquid separation to obtain sodium gold sulfite crystals;

[0013] S4. Dissolving the obtained sodium gold sulfite crystals in a sodium sulfite solution to prepare a sodium gold sulfite solution, thereby obtaining a sodium gold sulfite solution.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the pH is adjusted to 7.5-9.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, chloroauric acid is prepared by dissolving gold in aqua regia.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, after obtaining the sodium gold sulfite crystals, the solution is allowed to stand to allow the ethanol to evaporate.

[0017] Furthermore, step S2 is based on a preparation device, and the preparation device includes:

[0018] A reaction bottle is provided with a stirring element, and the reaction bottle is used to store sodium sulfite;

[0019] a first receiving bottle and a first pump body, wherein the first receiving bottle is used to store chloroauric acid, and the first pump body outputs chloroauric acid to the reaction bottle through a first pipe;

[0020] a second receiving bottle and a second pump body, wherein the second receiving bottle is used to store sodium hydroxide, and the second pump body outputs sodium sulfite to the reaction bottle through a second pipe;

[0021] A droplet size adjustment mechanism includes a spring and a driving member. The bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the liquid outlet end of the second pipe, and the distal end of the spring extends to the lower side of the liquid outlet end of the second pipe. After the liquid is discharged from the second pipe, the droplets are attracted to the bottom end of the spring, converge, and then drip. The driving member is connected to the top end of the spring. The driving member stretches or relaxes the spring to change the pitch of the spring. The pitch of the spring is negatively correlated with the adsorption force of the spring on the droplets.

[0022] A visual mechanism, provided on the side of the reaction bottle, for obtaining the color inside the reaction bottle;

[0023] A control system controls the amount by which the drive member stretches the spring based on the color detected by the visual mechanism, thereby controlling the particle size of the droplets output from the second pipe. Furthermore, the spring is a tower spring. Furthermore, the spring is provided with elastic rods spaced apart along its winding direction, the elastic rods being arranged obliquely upward. Furthermore, when the spring is compressed, the elastic rods elastically deform and attach to the inner coil of the spring. When the spring is stretched, the elastic rods elastically deform and swing toward the outer coil of the spring, thereby disengaging the droplets output from the second pipe.

[0024] Therefore, the present invention provides the following effects and / or advantages:

[0025] This application utilizes the characteristics of sodium gold sulfite crystals being readily soluble in water but poorly soluble in anhydrous ethanol solvent to precipitate the sodium gold sulfite crystals from the solution using an ethanol solvent. The method primarily involves steps such as gold treatment, dissolution in aqua regia, preparation of a sodium hydroxide solution, pH adjustment with chloroauric acid, preparation of an anhydrous sodium sulfite solution, complexation reaction, alcohol extraction, baking the sodium gold sulfite crystals, dissolution in water, and filtration. This preparation method effectively removes chloride ions by washing, reducing the chloride ion content of the sodium gold sulfite solution to below 30 ppm. The chloride ions are retained in the precipitated solution, and the crystals are then used to prepare the sodium gold sulfite solution, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the chloride ions. After ethanol washing, the chloride ion content of the final product is less than 30 ppm.

[0026] The process of the present application uses aqua regia to dissolve gold to obtain chloroauric acid, which is then directly reacted with anhydrous sodium sulfite for a complex reaction. The liquid-liquid reaction rate is fast, and ethanol can be used to reverse the solution to precipitate sodium gold sulfite with a precipitation rate of more than 99%. The produced sodium gold sulfite can be filtered and washed quickly, and the preparation only takes one day, which greatly reduces production time.

[0027] The process provided in this application clarifies the process reaction mechanism, optimizes process parameters, and obtains the optimal operating process.

[0028] In the present application, chloroauric acid is stored in a first holding bottle and input into a reaction bottle containing sodium sulfite for reaction to generate sodium gold sulfite. During the reaction, sodium hydroxide stored in a second holding bottle is added dropwise to the reaction bottle to adjust the pH value in the reaction bottle. A droplet size adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the particle size of the output sodium hydroxide droplets, so that sodium hydroxide droplets of corresponding particle size can be accurately output for adjusting the pH value in the reaction bottle.

[0029] The present application stretches the spring through a driving member, thereby changing the pitch of the spring, and the pitch is used to adjust the contact amount of the spring with the droplet, and to adjust the adsorption force of the spring on the droplet, thereby changing the particle size of the droplet.

[0030] The present application provides an elastic rod on the spring, which can be rebounded from the inner ring of the spring to the outer ring of the spring after the spring is stretched. This action can cause the droplets adsorbed on the bottom end of the spring to fall off, thereby obtaining droplets of smaller particle size.

[0031] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the description, or understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention are realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the description and the drawings.

It can be seen that the solution provided by Example 3 is the best.

[0081] Example 4

[0082] Step S2 is based on a preparation device for a sodium gold sulfite solution, comprising: Figure 2-3 ,

[0083] A reaction flask 1 is provided with a stirring element 2, and the reaction flask 1 is used to store sodium sulfite;

[0084] a first receiving bottle 3 and a first pump body 4, wherein the first receiving bottle 3 is used to store chloroauric acid, and the first pump body 4 outputs chloroauric acid to the reaction bottle through a first pipe 5;

[0085] a second receiving bottle 6 and a second pump body 7, wherein the second receiving bottle 6 is used to store sodium hydroxide, and the second pump body 7 outputs sodium hydroxide to the reaction bottle 1 through a second pipe 8;

[0086] In this embodiment, the first holding bottle 3, the first pump body 4, the second holding bottle 6 and the second pump body 7 can all be directly adopted from the prior art and will not be elaborated here. In order to improve the flow control of the pump body, the first pump body 4 and the second pump body 7 can adopt micro pumps.

[0087] The droplet size adjustment mechanism 9 includes a spring 901 and a driving member 902. The bottom end of the spring 901 is fixedly connected to the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8. The end of the spring 901 extends to the lower side of the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8. After the liquid is discharged from the second pipe 8, the droplets are attracted to the bottom end of the spring 901, converge, and then drip. The driving member 902 is connected to the top end of the spring 901. The driving member 902 stretches or relaxes the spring 901, thereby changing the pitch of the spring 901. The pitch of the spring 901 is negatively correlated with the adsorption force of the spring 901 on the droplets.

[0088] The droplet size adjustment mechanism 9 is one of the core improvements of this application. Because the sodium hydroxide solution is viscous, and the viscosity is related to the concentration of sodium hydroxide, the sodium hydroxide is more easily attracted and adsorbed on surrounding objects, and has the characteristic of being able to gather into droplets of different sizes according to concentration, external attraction, etc.

[0089] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the spring 901 extends to the lower side of the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8. Therefore, after the sodium hydroxide is discharged from the second pipe 8, it will be pulled by the end of the spring 901 and adsorbed to the bottom end of the spring 901, gathering into droplets. As the second pipe 8 continues to discharge the sodium hydroxide solution, the droplets gathered at the bottom of the spring 901 become larger and larger. When the weight of the liquid exceeds the adsorption force of the sodium hydroxide solution on the bottom of the spring 901, the droplets fall off and drip into the reaction bottle 1.

[0090] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the top of the droplet will be attracted to the bottom of spring 901. When the amount of stretching of spring 901 increases, the pitch D of spring 901 increases. At this time, the coils of spring 901 are further apart from each other. After the droplet is pulled by the end of spring 901, the adsorption capacity of the bottom of spring 901 for the droplet decreases, and the droplet convergence capacity is also reduced accordingly, resulting in a smaller droplet size when dripping from the bottom of spring 901. Conversely, when the amount of stretching of spring 901 decreases, the pitch D of spring 901 decreases. At this time, the coils of spring 901 are closer to each other. After the droplet is pulled by the end of spring 901, the bottom of spring 901 is more likely to adsorb the droplet, and the droplet convergence capacity is also increased accordingly, resulting in a larger droplet size when dripping from the bottom of spring 901. Through this structural feature, by controlling the pitch of spring 901 when the second pump body 7 outputs the droplet, the droplet size can be controlled.

[0091] A visual mechanism (not shown) is provided on the side of the reaction bottle 1 and is used to obtain the color inside the reaction bottle 1; the visual mechanism may be a camera.

[0092] The control system controls the stretching amount of the spring 901 by the driving member 902 according to the color obtained by the visual mechanism, thereby controlling the particle size of the droplets output by the second pipe 8.

[0093] In the process that chloroauric acid is slowly added dropwise to transparent sodium sulfite solution, when the pH value of the solution in reaction flask 1 is not about 8, the yield of sodium sulfite gold decreases, and now chloroauric acid is not completely reacted, and residual chloroauric acid can make the reaction flask 1 present faint yellow (chloroauric acid itself is faint yellow, strong acid).By the color in reaction flask 1, the pH value in reaction flask 1 can be known.When the yellow in reaction flask 1 is darker, then shows that the pH value of solution in reaction flask 1 declines more, and the sodium hydroxide that needs to be added then needs more.But in prior art, the mode of directly dripping sodium hydroxide is generally adopted to regulate pH value, generally speaking, the volume of a drop of liquid is about 0.05 milliliter, then the amount of the sodium hydroxide that is added dropwise to reaction flask 1 at each time is fixed, is difficult to the pH value in accurate regulation reaction flask 1.

[0094] By controlling the particle size of the falling sodium hydroxide droplets, the pH of the liquid in reaction flask 1 is controlled. Preferably, controlling the pH of the liquid in reaction flask 1 to approximately 8 achieves the optimal yield of sodium gold sulfite. Therefore, when chloroauric acid is slowly delivered via the first pump body 4, the volume of sodium hydroxide solution required to be added can be estimated based on the color depth within reaction flask 1. The droplet size adjustment mechanism 9 then adjusts the volume of the sodium hydroxide droplets delivered via the second conduit 8, thereby quantitatively adjusting the volume of sodium hydroxide solution added and precisely regulating the pH within reaction flask 1.

[0095] Furthermore, the second pipe 8 is sleeved with a movable sleeve 801 , and the movable sleeve 801 is movably arranged up and down along the second pipe 8 , and the top end of the spring 901 is connected to the bottom surface of the movable sleeve 801 .

[0096] In this embodiment, the movable sleeve 801 can help the spring 901 to achieve better upward and downward stretching.

[0097] Furthermore, the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8 is narrowed.

[0098] Furthermore, the spring 901 is a tower spring.

[0099] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8 is narrowed, thereby ensuring that the slowly discharged sodium hydroxide solution falls in the shape of water drops. The bottom of the tower spring is narrowed, thereby better surrounding the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 8. The bottom diameter of the tower spring is small, which can better attract and adsorb the sodium hydroxide droplets.

[0100] Furthermore, the spring 901 is provided with elastic rods 903 at intervals along the winding direction thereof, and the elastic rods 903 are arranged obliquely upward.

[0101] Furthermore, when the spring 901 is compressed, the elastic rod 903 is elastically deformed and placed on the inner ring of the spring 901. When the spring 901 is stretched, the elastic rod 903 is elastically deformed and swung toward the outer ring of the spring 901, thereby separating the droplets output by the second pipe 8.

[0102] In this embodiment, the elastic rod 903 can increase the contact area between the spring 901 and the droplet, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of the bottom end of the spring 901 for the droplet; on the other hand, the elastic rod 903 can be a rubber material support with a certain bending elasticity. When the spring 901 is compressed, the elastic rod 903 is elastically deformed and placed on the inner ring of the spring 901. Figure 5 At this time, the elastic rod 903 and the spring 901 absorb the droplet together. When the spring 901 is further stretched, the pitch of the spring 901 increases. At this time, the elastic rod 903 is elastically deformed and swung toward the outer ring of the spring 901, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, under this structure, the droplets adsorbed on the bottom end of the spring 901 can be thrown off, so that they can be better separated.

[0103] A preparation process of a sodium gold sulfite solution is further provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0104] The chloroauric acid is slowly output to the sodium sulfite in the reaction bottle 1 through the first pump body 4;

[0105] Detecting the color of the reaction bottle 1 by the visual mechanism;

[0106] Controlling the driving member 902 to adjust the stretching amount of the spring 901 according to the color of the reaction bottle 1;
